The cocteles de autor Medellín scene has evolved into a “mixology with identity” proposal, where the Binn Hotel ecosystem leads the trend. At Etro Rooftop, mixology is defined by urban sophistication and 360° views, while at La Makha, ancestral spirits like Viche Canao are transformed into pieces of liquid fine dining.
The liquid experience at Binn Hotel is not limited to mixed drinks. The curation extends to an exclusive wine list selection in Medellín that seeks the perfect balance with La Makha’s origin dishes, allowing fluid transitions between mixology and classic grape varieties.
Key points:
- Local identity: Use of Colombian spirits and regional botanicals.
- Advanced technique: Clarifications, smoking, and handcrafted reductions.
- Premium atmosphere: Spaces designed for sensory enjoyment in El Poblado.
- Liquid pairing: Cocktails crafted to elevate the flavors of origin cuisine.
What defines a signature cocktail?
A coctel de autor Medellín is not simply a blend of spirits; it is a signature. It represents the vision of a mixologist who uses unconventional ingredients to tell a story. In our spaces, this “mixology with identity” seeks to rescue forgotten flavors and present them with a modern and elegant aesthetic, characteristic of silent luxury.
Etro Rooftop: The “liquid moment” in the heights
At Etro, the bar is the heart of the experience. The “liquid moment” is designed to accompany the sunset over the Aburrá Valley. Here, classics are reinvented, such as the Basil Smash, which at our bar acquires superior freshness through the use of organic basil and citrus balancing techniques that highlight the premium gin profile.
La Makha and Viche: Bottled tradition
La Makha takes mixology to a level of cultural introspection. The star of the house is Viche Canao, an ancestral spirit from the Colombian Pacific integrated into sophisticated preparations. This handcrafted cane liquor provides earthy and smoky notes that form the base of cocktails designed to pair with origin dishes, creating a bridge between the jungle and the high-end table.
Two flagships of our bar
- Signature Carajillo: Much more than just coffee and liquor. Our version uses Colombian specialty coffee with a secret balance of sweet and spicy notes, served with a silky texture that makes it the perfect digestif.
- Etro Basil Smash: An ode to botanical freshness. The vibrant green color and intense aroma of fresh basil meet juniper, creating a light yet characterful experience.
